EXC Frustrated home secretary Priti Patel orders officials to explain the status of the long-awaited grooming gang ethnicity review

huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/grooming…
Her predecessor Sajid Javid ordered the review in July 2018 but Patel has been met with “obfuscation” from Home Office officials when asking what’s happening with it.
“She’s not best pleased,” a source said.
Ex-senior prosecutor @nazirafzal says the lack of proper research into the disproportionate number of mainly Pakistani-heritage men involved in grooming is “exploited by the far-right”
Labour’s @SarahChampionMP says it look like officials are “deliberately avoiding” ministers instructions on the review, which she says is needed to help disrupt and prevent grooming gangs.
A Home Office letter suggests it’s complete but even the SoS can’t get proper info on it. Where is it?!

Long-ish read following several chats with Tory backbenchers this week. Increasing numbers numbers are considering a no-deal Brexit as a viable 'plan B'.

One Remain-voting ex-minister says: "When I go to constituency events and say I voted Remain but I would rather we were ‘all in’ or ‘all out’ everyone nods their heads and see it as entirely reasonable."
We'll still have food, says a senior Leaver: “We won’t be able to get certain foods like bananas or tomatoes but it’s not like we won’t be able to eat. And we’ll be leaving at a time when British produce is beginning to come into season so it’s the best possible time to leave.”

DExEU won't say in response to my FOI if it has analysed regional impact of Brexit because doing so could trigger a "reactionary" response
It comes after ex-DExEU chief of staff @jameschappers claimed it had analysis showing Scotland and the North East of England would lose most
And it comes as @JolyonMaugham and @MollyMEP threaten legal action unless DExEU publish economic analysis of Brexit in 14 days

EXC: I can confirm there is to be a seventh entrant into the Labour leadership contest.

It’s Barry Gardiner.

Tune into #Newsnight at 2230 for more.
Gardiner is preparing a run after being approached (among others) by Len McCluskey, who has been speaking to a number of other potential candidates, as he isn’t convinced Rebecca Long Bailey can win.
Although some might find this surprising in some ways you could imagine how it might take off. A once marginalised, older man, been in parliament for ages, beloved by the grassroots, getting into a race which may otherwise be predictable. We've heard this story before...

#Tories Election Cock-Up Chaos so far - a continuing series :

01 - #Tories admit and apologise for a doctored, misrepresentative video of Kier Starmer. Tory MPs like @JohnnyMercerUK leave it on their feed and actively continue to spread.

Growing-up-trans 🧜🏽‍♂️
@DadTrans
UK Newspapers are repeating the lie that trans kids are being 'fast tracked' for medical care. The reality is anything but. Let me break it down for you, from someone who has a child is in the NHS monopoly service. [MEGATHREAD]: 1/
Imagine the following common scenario, you are a parent/carer, & your child comes out to you, tells you they are trans. Most of the time, they will have been thinking about this for some time, often years, you may even be the last to know. It can be difficult for parents 2/
I know, I've been there, (huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/the-mome…), imagine then, how hard it is for the child. Unfortunately many parents are unable to accept. They ignore - pretending it never happened, deny- shutting down the child, or react with intimidation or violence 3/
